Thanks JBF....Hope you are all good. And you to @Giuliano . I can copy in all the scriptures for both sides of this discussion into the thread and the list is pretty long. That way you guys can hand out the scriptures so they can throw them back a forth. Of course one might consider the truth...

The world stage. What you see is not it.

Well you have a point...look at Burma, they have nothing and people do not care if they kill each other. Of course you know, the issue is oil. Friendly advise, not whether you are right or wrong.

You cannot be a poster boy for this. I am about the most open minded person you will meet, but you even spooked me. I know their history, good and bad, but they have done this to themselves. If you are not in a Moslem country, the Koran / Quran might as well be dripping in blood. Terrorism is...

People misunderstand your interests in Islam. At one point you had me convinced that you were Moslem recruiter. I study many religions myself, but I am not going to get into Hinduism or Buddhism here because people are going to react negatively. Besides that most are not going to be interested...

Giuliano, it is a different religion, so why is it of interest?

I am with you!

Unlike his father Solomon was a builder and diplomat...marriages as contracts as treaties most probably. People would not like the concept of harems, but I am thinking that was probably the case....his love was probably the Queen of Sheba.

Glad you believe in Karma....

Are you good?

lol The customs of the Hebrews / Israelites are interesting....look into that if you are interested.

Some had that concern, others didn't. Boaz wasn't so bothered that Ruth wasn't a virgin. It wasn't even his duty to marry her, but he did. The man who declined to marry her gave a flimsy excuse that she was from the tribe of Moab. The rule against marrying someone from Moab was only about Jewish...

Oh, here we go.....did the prophets of the Old Testament think they were Gods. Lusts....you would not believe what kind of topic that is in the ancient world. One man, five wives, one tent...who-ra! Good men want love. And grandchildren to spoil so they will drive their parents nuts.

Oh come on Prayer Warrior, no one here thinks they are God. lol

That is why I like talking to you...your smart. What does your average person do when they look back at history. If they do not like it they try to deny it or explain it away. Or they look back at the past and see ignorance or cruelty. Slavery it a good example, most can relate to this topic...

I think that most of this is right. It is a cultural thing that the Jews of today still know. But clinical virginity is not exactly what they understood completely. How do you think they tested the captured women for virginity, sometime thousands. The custom was for the mother to gather the...

The Laws were written in a time period that were harsh. Slaves were common even in Christ's period. A father selling his daughter as a slave or concubine did occur in the Old Testament. This as with many things the Israelite did, these practices spans several cultures. My point is, this is a Law...

In Hebrews 8:8-10, the Old covenant law is said to be a part of the New Covenant, written on the hearts of believers. So of the Laws that are written in your heart....which ones are you going to observe...try killing a woman that does not bleed on her wedding night and see what it get'cha. I...

That is not what Christ said. "Moses permitted you" The Israelites were told the Laws came from God. I disagree with the explanation that I have heard many times, that the Laws were written in accordance to the evilness of the people. So the Laws were written to be evil. I disagree with that.

I naps. Think in my sleep. But good to talk with you.
